Better late than never, right? Sorry for the delay, been busy over here. Here are a bunch of pics from the July 24th 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meet. Nice to see the diversity in vehicles continue with more and more cars from different manufacturers showing up.
Here are a few snaps from the night, these and more can be found here on our Flickr set: HERE
And a few bloopers:

Welcome to another entry of pics from the July 17th edition of the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meets at Chinook Centre. Last Wednesday was an interesting one. Around 5pm a big rain storm hit the city again, causing a few roads to flood once more and all but kill the hope of going to the Wednesday meet. But alas, as quickly as the storm came, it ended. Afterwards there was tons of sun, and the roads dried up fairly quickly, so I decided to make the trek down to Chinook to see how few people showed up. As you can see in these pictures, surprisingly it was an awesome turnout. Great to have people dedicated to their hobby as much as they are.
Here are a few snaps from the night, I tried my best to work with the bright sun and long shadows. These and more can be found here on our Flickr set: HERE
How romantic! =P
Before we end it here, even though I shouldn’t have to say it, there have been several incidents in the last few weeks to lead me to believe otherwise, so I’ll say it again. No speeding or BOVing up the ramp, no drifting, no revving engines, no super loud music, no burnouts. Basically, don’t do stuff that you wouldn’t do if a cop was hanging out there. We have a decent relationship with the staff and security at Chinook Centre because we are respectful to their lot and the residences across the street (who have on occasion called in to mall security and/or police because of these said hooligans). Don’t do stupid things to ruin it for the rest of the people who enjoy hanging out there.
Hope to see you guys all well behaved on Wednesday!
Last year, we held our 2nd Sunday School Show & Shine showcasing the creme de la creme of imports, domestics and exotics that Calgary (and surrounding area) had to offer.

It took a while, but its finally here and ready for your viewing pleasure! On May 11th 2013, the Olympic Oval in Calgary once again opened its doors to host yet another Driven show. With over 250 cars in attendance, and hundreds of people out and about to check out what went down, we are happy to share with y’all our take on the show as seen through our eyes. We would like to take this time to thank everyone that came out to rep with us, and also to the beautiful Melyssa Grace for coming down and hanging with us. Also, we cannot forget to thank y’all for coming down and checking out the show.
So without further adieu, here is our fashionably late take on the show that was Driven 2013. Enjoy!
It was a nice sunny day on Wednesday June 15 to head up to the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca meets. With the rain finally deciding to let up for a night, it was nice to get out there and check out some rides. Actually, it was a little too sunny out as you can tell by some of my pictures, and was getting hard to fight the sun and the shadows, so I gave up and went inside to eat, only to come back outside with it being cloudy again.
Here are a few shots that turned out, all the rest can be found on our Flickr set: HERE
There was quite a turnout this past week for the Beyond.ca meet! Unfortunately I didn’t capture too many photos this time around but I hope you can get an idea of what was present. If I missed your car, I’m sorry!
I would like to mention though that on this particular Wednesday, we had a visit from a few Calgary police officers. They arrived in their cars and took a few laps of the parking lot to see what was going on. Nothing was ‘wrong’ so they happily chatted to a few owners and then went on their way. We are very lucky that Chinook allows us to meet here each week and all we need to do in return is behave and be mature. Occasionally someone feels the need to try drifting or to do a burnout, and stunts like that will just make us all look bad.
With that little reminder out of the way, here are the photos!
A couple of us are bringing our R/C cars back to the meets now as well; feel free to join in if you have one! The more the merrier.
It was a gorgeous night out for the last 403 Honda/Beyond.ca at Chinook, and that meant a really awesome turnout, the best turnout we’ve seen all season. Hopefully the meets stay as busy as they have been, if not busier!
Here’s a few of the many shots I took. To see the rest, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE
And for my buddy Aldo, I know where you hide your snacks now… in your bumper.
Make sure to come on down and hang out the next meet at Chinook on May 1st, 2013.
Another week has gone by, and that means another edition of the weekly 403 Honda/Beyond.ca Meet! Its nice to see these meets getting busier and busier as the weeks go by and the weather starts cooperating. Its nice to see cars that come every week, and see how they progress as the season goes by. Its also been great in the fact that the cars are getting more and more diverse.
Here’s a quick taste of some of the cars that were out this week, for lots more shots, check out the set on our Flickr stream: HERE
Make sure to check out the next meet at Chinook on April 18, 2013.
You can almost feel it in the air. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and the cars that have been hiding are starting to come out. The season is almost upon us, and for a handful of people, it already has. And that means the 403 Honda/Beyond.ca weekly meets are starting to get into full swing. I’ve been to a few already, and they’ve been starting to get busier and busier. Here are a few snaps I took that somewhat darker night, then it got cold, so I put the camera away:

If you’re bored on a Wednesday night, are interested in checking out peoples projects, come check out the weekly meets. They happen usually from 7pm to whenever at the rear upper parkade lot of Chinook Centre. Hope to see you next week!
